LISAS ARMY INC

Our ultimate goal is that every man, woman, and child battling cancer patient would receive a Comfort Care Package to provide some additional level of comfort and encouragement as part of their treatment. Until a cure for cancer is discovered, we want each and every cancer patient to know that many others care about them and their well-being.

We collect comfort items, make cards with words of encouragement, purchase critical comfort items, partner with other organizations, manage fundraising events and seek donations in order to supply cancer patients with a customized Comfort Care Package. 100% of all donations go directly to patients. We have a private donor that reimburses Lisa's Army for all of their administrative expenses. In addition, every staff member, our Board of Directors and volunteers are unpaid. Our strategy is simply that caring people that share our values will contribute to the mission once they are aware of the organization and its impact. Our challenge is to make more people aware of our organization so that we can act as a conduit to allow them to help.

We survey many cancer patients, treatment center professionals, and caregivers to determine the best items to comfort someone going through cancer treatment. We collect or purchase these items and package them at our distribution facility before delivering them to the patients. Our 10 regular unpaid staff members have implemented the processes, security, and technology necessary to efficiently and effectively handle the fulfillment and delivery activities.

We have delivered over 1,500 Comfort Care Packages over the last three years and have experienced a 25% increase in growth per year since that time. We are now supplying one Comfort Care Package to a man, woman, or child battling cancer every day. This is a wonderful accomplishment that we hope to improve upon each year. We have also started to partner with many other caring organizations to increase our capacity.
